Nature
of
the
Problem
The
connection
between
physical
activity
and
student
engagement
is
a
heavily
debated
topic
in
the
field
of
education.
The
health
benefits
of
physical
activity
are
well
documented
but

The
benefits
of
recess
are
more
apparent
with
lower-­‐elementary
students
than
upper-­‐elementary
students
because
young
children
need
more
breaks
throughout
the

than

to

Energizers
are
a

way
to

mental

Currently,
energizer
programs
are
being
designed
by
teachers
to
integrate
physical
activity
into
the
academic
curriculum.

There
are
many
trends

throughout
all
of
these

First,
decreasing
or
eliminating
time
for
physical

in
order
to
accommodate
for
other

subjects

not

to
improved

to
identify
what
types
of

prove
most
effective
for
refocusing

students
on
to
academic
work.
Furthermore,
